Mount St. Helens

On a day the weatherman surprised us by predicting a warm summer day Nancy and I decided to make a day trip to see the mountain. We quickly packed a picnic lunch and hit the road. It is only a short drive up the freeway to the turn off and then maybe 50 miles of scenic roads to the visitors center. Along the way we enjoyed seeing the lupine in bloom. Part of Mount St. Helens hid in the clouds but we were treated to warm weather and eventually the mountain revealed her beauty.
